Garth Owen-Smith has spent almost his entire working life fighting not against a conventional enemy but against official ignorance, harsh climatic conditions, poachers and other enemies of Africa s fast-diminishing wildlife. In the process he has lived and worked in a number of countries but his chosen battlefield has always been the most challenging place of all: the harsh, beautiful and almost unknown Kaokoveld in north-western Namibia, his Arid Eden. He chose sides early on, when he spent two youthful years in the Kaokoveld and not only developed a deep affinity with the indigenous Himba, Herero and Damara pastoralists but realized that they had developed the ideal form of nature conservation, a situation in which humans and their livestock could live in equilibrium with wild game, so that there was room for all. In he was thrown out of the Kaokoveld as an alleged security risk, then spent a year looking into conservation and the treatment of indigenous peoples in Australia, farmed for two years in Rhodesia, and did pioneering work in conservation education for black youths in South Africa. He finally managed to get back to South West Africa in , and from there embarked on his life s work, to save the remnants of the Kaokoveld s rich wildlife, devastated by a variety of illegal hunters.When he went back to the Kaokoveld in it was to find that its rich wildlife, including black rhino and desert-adapted elephant, had been devastated by illegal hunting. Owen-Smith has spent the last 27 years working to reverse this, starting a non-government organization with his partner, Dr Margaret Jacobsohn. They have won some of the world s major conservation awards, north-western Namibia is a popular tourism destination and the Kaokoveld s wildlife has come back from the brink of virtual extinction, and thousands of people have benefited from the links they have forged between community development and natural resource management.

CHAMPIONS OF THE WILD - WHALES / GIANT TURTLES Synopsis: Across the world scientists, activists and biologists dedicate their lives to studying some of the world’s rarest, most endangered species. Through years of close observation these individuals, often working against traditional scientific thought, have come to understand their animals better than anyone. They are the CHAMPIONS OF THE WILD. WHALES 40 tons of mystery! An ocean traveller for millions of years; the stuff of legend an myth. Even todays humans know little of whales, but for 25 years researcher Jim Darring has been pulling back this giant sea dwellers veil of secrecy. It’s the key to the whales future. The more we know about them, the more fascinated we have become, and the greater is our personal stake for their survival. GIANT TURTLES For 100 million years, they have cruised the seas, travelling astounding distances every year. Today every single species of sea turtle is either threatened or endangered. Peter Pritchard saw his first sea turtle in an Irish aquarium, and he immediately fell in love. Over the past 35 years, he has seen every species of turtle in the sea and has travelled the globe to study these intriguing reptiles. When it comes to conservation, Pritchard firmly believes that “people are always the problem, and people are always the solution.” He has worked with Audley James and other members of the indigenous Arawak community in Moruka, Guyana, to ensure that young people grow up to love and respect turtles - and that the days when turtles were slaughtered for meat are gone forever. With breathtaking underwater photography, Giant Sea turtles offers a unique picture of some of the world’s most mysterious creatures.     Starring: In Association With Discovery Channel   Category: Documentary, Wildlife   Age Restriction: ALL AGES
